Ok, so weve all heard of Bernt Haas and Rod Fanni.. Just seen a players name for gillingham (scored tonight) G Sithole. Actually read it as "G Shithole" to Start with and nearly chocked on my tea.. there any other funny/unfortunate names knocking about?
One that always amused me was the Swansea goalkeeper who faced us in the playoff final shootout …. Willy Gueret The answer for each of the pens ….. Willy eck!
True this - when I worked in legal side of things for Courts I do remember a firm of solicitors in the civil side called Wright Hassell. Just about sums up the legal processes in civil side!
Barnsley signed a player called Willie Waddell from Kilmarnock in the early '70's. My sister thought she was really witty by saying "Of course he will, he's a duck!" every time his name was mentioned and I do mean every time. My Dad & I just shook our heads at her.
There was a player at Barnsley during the Clarke era called Paul Wigley. Which, in our house, was a polite word for your tadger. Oh, how we laughed.
I always like that Nortei Nortey who played in lower leagues. But as a younger kid I thought Dickov and Shittu were funny.
When I worked in Barnsley in the 80's at Yorkshire Bank we had a business account for C Soar & Sons. His son was called Ian, so I Soar. A quick check at Companies House shows they are still rocking it. Apologies, if anyone on here is associated with them, was just a funny name. No malice intended. It probably made them more memorable TBH.
